EXPRESSING THE APPRECIATION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO RUDOLPH ANDREAS "ANDRE" BAUER FOR HIS EXCELLENT YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CONSTITUENTS OF HOUSE DISTRICT 85, TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ITS ELECTED LEADERSHIP, AND TO THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES TO OUR FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE AS HE ASSUMES HIS NEW ELECTED POSITION REPRESENTING DISTRICT 18 OF THE SENATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the Honorable Andre Bauer has, since 1997, represented the citizens of District 85, Lexington County, in the House of Representatives; and

Whereas, Representative Bauer is a self-employed businessman who graduated from the University of South Carolina in business and who was named Mr. U.S.C. in 1989; and

Whereas, his enthusiasm for being elected to the House of Representatives and his willingness to work hard at his new job were exhibited by Representative Bauer when he was elected the Secretary-Treasurer of the Freshman Caucus in 1997, and when he was elected the Second Vice-Chairman of the Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee; and

Whereas, Andre was elected to the position of First Vice-Chairman of the Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee for this session; and

Whereas, as a lawmaker, he has been a dedicated member of the House of Representatives; he has worked extremely hard for his constituents, he is accessible, and they hear from him regularly; and

Whereas, his dedication to his legislative position was evident as he was the principal sponsor of thirty-seven bills and resolutions in his freshman session; and

Whereas, by sponsoring and marshalling through the legislative process the bill requiring schools to specifically dedicate time to teach about the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Representative Bauer showed his dedication to the ideals of patriotism, service to one's country and state, and education for our youth of these important principles; and

Whereas, Representative Bauer has made a large impact on the House of Representatives during his service here and he will be greatly missed by all the representatives; and

Whereas, as Representative Bauer now moves over to assume the position of the Senator representing District 18 which encompasses the counties of Newberry and Saluda and portions of Lexington and Union Counties, we, the members of the House of Representatives, extend to him our very best wishes and also take comfort in the fact that he will not be far away, but just across the hall in the State House, and that we will have regular contact with him; and

Whereas, we express our deepest gratitude that we have had the honor and pleasure of being part of the legislative process with him, and our gratitude that Representative Bauer chooses to continue as a public servant and to work for the people of our great State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the members of the House of Representatives that we express the appreciation of the body to Rudolph Andreas "Andre" Bauer for his excellent years of service to the constituents of House District 85, to the House of Representatives, its elected leadership, and to the citizens of the State of South Carolina, and to extend best wishes to our friend and colleague as he assumes his new elected position representing District 18 of the Senate of South Carolina.
